An Altitude is a line segment: Whose one end is at vertex of a triangle Whose other end is on the opposite side of aforementioned vertex Which is perpendicular to this opposite side Example: In the following Triangle ABC: AD is a line segment: Whose one end is at vertex 'A' of a triangle Whose other end 'D' is on the opposite side 'BC' of vertex 'A' Which is perpendicular to the opposite side 'BC' Hence, AD is an altitude of Triangle ABC.
